I'm sorry I have to tell everyone like this.....(RIP TMAN)

[Vidav]

I hope all of you fuckers will join me in raising a glass to TMan this weekend.

Absolutely.

Wow, not such a great way to log into CS this morning.

RIP T-Man.

I'll join the Russian in drinking a few to him this weekend.

[OL FU]

Very sad. My sincere condolences.

[Col Hogan]

RIP Jim...
We broke bread and shared a number of drinks over the years...he will be missed

[Gil Dobie]

Charlie, we could tell you father was a good many, by the way he carried himself on this messageboard. Beyond all the trolling and back and forth smack, Tman was one of the great posters on cs.com. We tried to meet up a few years back, but out scheduled did not allow it. My thoughts and prayers are with him and your family. God Bless TMan.

[Pwns]

Damn.

My. condolences to you and yours, Charlie.

Had the good fortune to meet Jim once, as an eclectic group of message boarders (chizzang, dback, me, Jim, Griz Goddess, and I believe a couple others) paths crossed and we all were able to meet up at a bar in Tempe, AZ for drinks. Was a hell of a good time, topped off by a scene I'll never forget: At the end of the evening as we were leaving, Jim had us all come to his vehicle as he had gifts for us. He opened the trunk and I shit you not there were 50 different bottles of top shelf booze in there....I'm not sure what everybody else walked away with, but I got a top shelf gin and a high-end bourbon. At that time we were all fairly new to this board, but the man was generous to a fault.

And as one of--if not THE--most solid Conks on this board, he will be sorely missed. There'll be a hole in this board for quite some time.

T-Man, my bourbon glass will be raised to you this weekend. RIP, buddy.

[89Hen]

Wow, was hoping this was a joke. RIP TMan, you will certainly be missed here.

Hello, this is not travelinman67...this is his son. His name is James aka Jim aka JB...My name is charlie. I didnt know how else to go about this but I knew I needed to let everyone know. He passed away over the weekend. I know he met a few in person and was quite close to a few of you. If people could spread the word to anyone who might have known him. We will have a a true celebration of life on oct. 17 in Sacramento,ca. If anyone would like more info please email me at. cabiii@live.com . I am sorry I am having to do it like this but knew it might be the best way to let as many of you know as I can. Please keep his trolling spirit alive...travelinman67 out.....

Yes, but what about D1B?

[D1B]

From his son:

" He was with friends at a lake in the mountains he really enjoyed. Said he wasn't feeling well after a beer and a nap. And before dinner and he went to lay down. And he passed in his sleep in a matter of an hour or so. It's being called a heart attack. He was 54. "



Peace be with you, tman.

Let me tell you....I just got a fucking reality check bigtime. I turn 53 in September. If this shit can happen to T-Man, it can happen to anybody. Time to start taking care of myself better.

I know I speak for the rest of cs.com, and probably most of your family, but don't stop what youre doing. You are taking care of yourself just fine.

I think it really goes to show how our community here is more than just a bunch of pricks arguing (or joking) on the internet. I know many of us have become good friends offline and I think it's a testament to the caliber of people that routinely come here and participate. It's always sad when someone passes and regardless of any trivial quibbling, Jim will be missed.

I started out yesterday thinking this might have been an elaborate troll

I still hold out a sliver of hope that Tman will pop up in a few days, but this feels credible / and that wasnt Tman's style anyway (unlike D, who could die publicly on CNN and we would doubt it here on CS)

RIP Tman

[CitadelGrad]

Very sorry to hear of Tman's passing. Condolences to his family.

That's almost exactly how I described this to my wife.

[mlbowl]

RIP TMan!

[houndawg]

Damnit. I was really hoping this news was not true. My deep condolences to you and your family Charlie. I think you should know when I've spoke to him a few times he let it be known he was a very proud father.

This is tough to take man, I'm heartbroken.

Cap'n pmd me last night and I was thinking that it was a D1B-style move and that after we all said that yeah he was good peeps to trade barbs with he'd pop up and have a good laugh at us.

I'd expect nothing less from D.

[Cap'n Cat]

Talked to T last week Wednesday. Was going to be in the Carmichael, CA, area and was seeing if he wanted to get together for a drink with a liberal. Left him a message.

Guy calls back in less than 5 minutes and talks with me as if we were long lost friends - no Obama bullsh1t, no Reagan bullsh1t. And I hadn't talked with him in 2 years. Said he was sorry, but he was going to a cabin in the mountains with some friends, but would be down to see me in Vegas in the fall.

His son called me from his phone directory and told me had a heart attack at the cabin.

Wish I met him.

this- my first thought was he's trying to beat D at his own game.

[Hambone]

Not very active here (posting wise anyway), but always hate to hear about stuff like this. RIP Tman. Saying a prayer for the family.......

I hope all of you **** will join me in raising a glass to TMan this weekend.
